[QUOTE="Cattleman 9.5, post: 1101361, member: 21872"] Why Sir do you believe that it is done everyday on a large scale through out the country $1700 for a heavy bred cow that will have a calf that when it is weaned is worth anywhere from $1000 to $1200 and then if you took the cow back to the barn if she was open she is worth $900 to $1200 if she is bred then add $200 to $500 to that price if you kept the cow for a yr to do this your cost should be $365 or less so bred cow $1400 weaned calf $1100 total $2500 minus cost $365 balance $2135 profit $435 No you wouldn't do this on every cow but that is part of the gamble of being in the Cattle business there are NO guarantees like in most business opportunities that are out there I would surmise that you live in a sheltered environment and have never had to gamble to make a profit and have always played it safe or otherwise you wouldn't say that you can't do something A $1700 cow is no more of a gamble than an $1100 feeder calf [/QUOTE]
